multiple commands at command prompt

Question
Can you type more than one command at one command prompt?

Answer
Yes, use the pipe or the ampersand to separate your commands. The shell and version of Windows you are using decides what character to use. Below are some additional examples for each version of Windows and shell. In both of these examples the command would first get to the root of the current drive and then run the dir command to list the current contents of the root.

Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows ME users

cd\ | dir

Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP users using the command shell

Instead of using the pipe Microsoft decided to change it to the ampersand (&) for reasons unknown by us. Therefore you would need to type the below command to have the same results as earlier versions of Windows.

cd\ & dir

oracle dba_hist_sysmetric_summary

found this blog is helpful to get CPU and IO statistics on oracle database. http://shob-dbadmin.blogspot.ca/2012/12/how-to-find-total-io-of-database.html courtesy to  Shomil Bansal , below are hist writing, not mine. How to find total IO of the database instance Total IO of database instance is sum of the physical reads, physical writes and redo writes. There are several views to find these values. v$sysmetric  - Reports metric values for only the most current time sample 60 secs. v$sysmetric_summary  - Reports metric values for time sample of 1 hour. v$sysmetric_history  - Reports metric values every 60 sec from the time instance is up. Better way to analyse IO using this view to take deltas between two time periods. dba_hist_sysmetric_history  - All the above views are refreshed when the instance is restarted. This view, part of AWR, stores the historical stats. I have used this view for my report. Query: ====== set lines 350...

fix bad query plan using sql profile created by coe_xfr_sql_profile.sql

After database upgrade from 10g to 12c, some of queries have bad performance, elapsed time are changed from less than 1 second to a few minutes, the immediately fix is to force the application to use 10g optimizer by either change database parameter or use database logon trigger to force specific application to choose the 10g optimizer. I used the database trigger. CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER sys.triggername    AFTER LOGON ON DATABASE WHEN (upper(sys_context('USERENV','MODULE')) like '%APP_UPPERCASE%' or upper(sys_context('USERENV','MODULE')) like '% APP_UPPERCASE %') BEGIN /* some functions of application running slow after db upgrade from 10g to 12c, this trigger helps to force them to use 10g optimizer and get their normal performance*/    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER SESSION SET optimizer_features_enable=''10.2.0.5'''; END  triggername ;   / I engaged oracle support on troubleshooting this, sent MOS...
